I think Rob (Robbie / The Robber / Machado) has earnt his stripes, as old man of the sea!
Hell, so has Asea, and Mac (where are you buddy!?) !!

But Kelly is still on Pro Model Boards!
Does Kelly qualify as an old man of sea? Not for me!

I'd rate most of us here as a 7, and Kelly a 6.5!
Pro Level, Kelly is 11/10. We're 1-5 mainly!

He used to also rip on a short board - and probably still does. I love that vid Sp - I recall a few yrs back saying that Slater could probably ride a door he's that good and someone sent me that - pissed myself laughing !

How did the move go SP? All sorted?

Just saw some great drone footage of this.

Sin Eyewear had it up on their facebook page but I am sure it is somewhere on youtube, good shot!

Might not be so bad as he is minted so no need to split the family assets in 2 she can leave you the lot

On another note he is playing the Pebble Beach Pro-Am with Davis Love III today and is even after 6 holes. Not bad! Win at Pipe one day and be playing at one of the top golf golf courses with all the pros the next day. He really is the King.
